Died. Rabbi Joshua Loth Liebman, 41, stocky author of the No. 1 nonfiction bestseller, Peace of Mind (702,000 copies sold to date), of a heart ailment; in Boston. Last of a long line of rabbis, Liebman was a lecturer on Greek philosophy at 19, became rabbi of Boston's Temple Israel in 1939, the same year went on the air to become one of radio's top religious broadcasters. In Peace of Mind--a "selfhelp" book--he tried to make religion's peace with psychoanalysis, argued their compatibility, urged his readers toward a "shockproof balance . . . inside the soul."
Died. Lewis Baxter Schwellenbach, 53, U.S. Secretary of Labor, ex-senator from Washington (1935-40), ex-judge of the District Court for Eastern Washington (1940-45); after long illness; in Washington, D.C. In 1945 at the urging of old friend and new President Harry Truman he took over from Frances Perkins the toothless, whittled-down Labor Department, soon found that liberal leanings and hard work were not enough to keep him from being the frustrated man in the middle of most postwar labor troubles.
Died. Dr. Otto Marburg, 74, exiled Viennese neurologist, longtime good friend of the late great Sigmund Freud; of cancer; in Manhattan. Author of several standard texts on the nervous system, Dr. Marburg had been head of the University of Vienna's Neurological Institute for 19 years when he came to the U.S. as a refugee in 1938, joined Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons as clinical professor of neurology.
Died. Gertrude Atherton, 90, shockproof, indefatigable novelist and social chronicler; in San Francisco. She scored her first success in 1902 with The Conqueror, a novelized biography of Alexander Hamilton, later established her name with her historical novels and social histories of California. In 1923 she hit the jackpot with her top bestseller, Black Oxen, which described her own sexual rejuvenation by X-ray treatment.
